How large an expansion gap should be left between steel railroad rails if they may reach a maximum temperature 36.0°C greater th

an when they were laid? Their original length is 26.0 m.

Answer:

11 mm

Explanation:

Original length L' = 26 m

Increase in temperature dT = 36.0°C

The gap l =?

The coefficient of linear expansion for steel & = 12 × 10^−6 per °C

The gap will be gotten from the equation of linear expansion.

l = L' x & x dT

substituting, we have

L = 26 x 12 × 10^−6 x 36

L = 0.011 m = 11 mm

A proton is confined to a space 1 fm wide (about the size of an atomic nucleus). What's the minimum uncertainty in its velocity?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Minimum uncertainty in velocity of a proton,\Delta v\ge 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s      

Explanation:

It is given that,

A proton is confined to a space 1 fm wide, \Delta x=10^{-15}\ m

We need to find the minimum uncertainty in its velocity. We know that the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle gives the uncertainty between position and the momentum such that,

\Delta p.\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}

Since, p = mv

\Delta (mv).\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}

m \Delta v.\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta v\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi m\Delta x}

\Delta v\ge \dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 10^{-15}}

\Delta v\ge 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s

So, the minimum uncertainty in its velocity is greater than 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Ty has two pet mice. One mouse has the gene for black fur color and the other mouse has the gene for white fur color. The female
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Ty has two pet mice. One mouse has the gene for black fur color and the other mouse has the gene for white fur color. The female mouse is pregnant now, and Ty wonders what color or colors the baby mice will be. Read each offspring description phrase below and select the correct pattern of dominance for each.

___ all white fur offspring, white fur in this case is dominant

___ all gray fur offspring, this is incomplete dominant.

___ all black fur offspring, this is black fur dominantice

___ all black and white offspring, this is codominance .

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance: Incomplete dominance is when a dominant allele, or form of a gene, does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele, and the organism's resulting physical appearance shows a blending of both alleles. It is also called semi-dominance or partial dominance.

Codominance: Codominance is a relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. If the alleles are different, the dominant allele usually will be expressed, while the effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.

Explain how surface and subsurface events are integral parts of the rock cycle.
vagabundo [1.1K]
Example of surface events are erosion and weathering. Erosion is the carrying of a particle from one place to the other and weathering is the breaking down of particles. These processes help in rock formation because this allows physical changes (grouping together or breaking down) on a certain substance. Subsurface events are those which happened underground such as the flow of underground water which subsequently allow the deposition of minerals, etc.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

15193.62 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 6.5 hours

u = Initial velocity = 0 (Assumed)

m = Mass of rocket = 1380 kg

F = Thrust force = 896 N

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration of the rocket

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{896}{1380}\\\Rightarrow a=0.6493\ m/s^2

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.6493\times 6.5\times 60\times 60\\\Rightarrow v=15193.62\ m/s

The velocity of the rocket after 6.5 hours of thrust is 15193.62 m/s
